No one has yet been able to help me in this matter... I need to copy an object into the current folder via manage_clone or whatever other method there is. The problem is that the object cannot be reached by acquisition, because it resides in some other folder: /__zope |_____folder | |_____object1 | |_____object2 | |_____object3 | |_____current_folder It would be ease to simply call "manage_clone(folder.object1,'newname',REQUEST)" of course, but the selected object comes from a list in a DTML form and thus the ID cannot be hardcoded. The user selects an ID from the list, hits a button and the next DTML Document is supposed to clone the selected object into the current directory. If I put something like "manage_clone(REQUEST['input'],'newname',REQUEST)" I get an error: -> Error Type: AttributeError -> Error Value: 'string' object has no attribute 'cb_isCopyable' I tried all kinds of variations for the first parameter of manage_clone, and it works if the desired object can be called by acquisition (e.g. if it's in the root folder), but as soon as the object is in a subfolder, everything breaks. Please help me, I urgently need this feature in my appliction - and time runs out. ;-) Thanks so far, Heiko. P.S.: yes, I also tried copy and paste, but the pasteObjects() bailed, too. -- Heiko Stoermer MIG Augsburg
